This match will not have any impact as to which team will proceed to next round. However, it will decide the number one and two teams in this group as both New Zealand as well as South Africa have won their respective matches against the Scots. Although the match between New Zealand was cut short to 7Seven, they managed to score 90 runs after the Scots played the first innings and set them a decent target. However, the African demolish of Scottish batting in their match makes South Africa a favorite between the two.
So this will be the first good match and I wish to see if kiwis can choke the South African team. I like both the team but love the resilience and attitude of New Zealand team. Ross Taylor is becoming prized player of the Kiwis. However, they need to buck up their bowling resources having bowled shoddily to the Scots. I want to see JP Duminy get opportunity to show his class tomorrow and I am getting a feel that Graeme is slowly wetting his feet after a disappointing run at IPL.
